Well, in my earlier post I told you guys what's going on. I am stuck and don't know where to go from here. My pdoc wanted me to go to the hospital after taking so much Xanax at one time. I admit that I am somewhat suicidal because I am tired of taking so many steps forward and then BHAM! I am just feeling so paralyzed. I don't know what to do. I am supposed to see the pdoc Monday morning but I don't want to go. He'll just put me back on my meds ( I still have plenty of Xanax from past prescriptions). I am tried of fighting.

Maybe putting you back on your meds is the best thing for you at this point. Taking too much xanax is very dangerous and you can develop and addiction to it. I sure hope things turn around for you soon. My thoughts are with you.

Please do see your pdoc...even if he does recommend that you go back up on your dosages, that doesn't mean it's forever. Also, he might try you on a med that is safer to use during pregnancy. I know that you want to have another child, but I don't want to see you destroy yourself in the process...and I don't think your husband would want that either. In the end, you need to do what's best for you, and you will be in my prayers.

I am so sorry it has thrown you in such a downwrds spiral! It really sucks...

If you do feel suicidal, please do go and see your pdoc. Can you take a (few) sick day(s)? Also, it might not be such a good idea to have too much Xanax available to you. Can your husband make sure you can't get to it, so you aren't tempted to take the whole lot?
I do understand that it makes you feel paralyzed and you are tired of fighting. That's why it is important to go see your pdoc to get all the help you need to get over this and stabilized again.
The most important thing for you now is to get well, so you can lok at life with different eyes.
Do take care of yourself!!!!!

i understand your probs, i'm there myself. but i still fight for the simple reasons are, i have a family, and kids. no matter what it is that you have in your life, you always have ppl who love you very much. i was put in the ward myself, but i know why she did this, it was to save me from myself. i have a new respect for my psych too.
the meds and the doctors... it's all there to help you

God Bless hun

Musik - if you are not coping, allow yourself to be prescribed meds. They are there to make life "easier" and more bearable for us. You know we are here to support you - giving in to meds is definitely not a sign of weakness. 99% of us cannot cope without medications. The road we walk is not an easy one, but it's really up to us to decide whether the glass is half empty or half full.

If you really do not want to see your p-doc, what about seeing a T first and asking for help and advice? I'm currently on meds, and when I spiral downwards I also feel very tempted to take all my tabs (My bathroom cabinet resembles a mini pharmacy, so I could probably do some damage). But I've come in to realise in those times that all I really need is someone understanding to talk to, maybe someone to hold me - and then to just ride out the dark times, because it WILL get better.

Hang in there!
